#DiveFromHome

During this unprecedented time, when diving aficionados around the globe are finding themselves homebound for weeks at a time, things have to be done differently. We’re now readjusting to a new normal in which staying dry and learning from home is the only option…

Thanks to SSI, divers around the world can now continue their diving education without leaving home! The Life Aquatic is happy to offer a selection of SSI specialty courses that can be completed 100% online from your home !

COMPUTER DIVING

Dive computers make scuba diving safer and easier if you know how to set and use it correctly. The SSI Computer Diving specialty is your chance to learn and understand diving computers.

CORAL IDENTIFICATION

Coral reefs can be seen from space, but are the product of billions of tiny organisms. Learn how corals feed, grow and reproduce, and how to identify various coral species of three distinct regions, the Caribbean, the Indo-Pacific, and the Red Sea.

ENRICHED AIR NITROX (32%)

The SSI Enriched Air Nitrox program will teach you how to safely plan and dive with enriched air mixtures of up to 32% oxygen. Diving with enriched air can increase your no-decompression limits, increase your safety, and reduce the required length of your surface intervals when compared to air.

EQUIPMENT TECHNIQUES

The SSI Equipment Techniques teaches you how to choose, maintain and store your Total Diving System. This ensures performance and increases the longevity of your equipment.

FISH IDENTIFICATION

Learn how to classify various species of fish using physical, environmental and behavioral characteristics. This program allows you to investigate the fishes of three distinct regions, the Caribbean, the Indo-Pacific, and the Red Sea.

MARINE ECOLOGY

Explore the complex and multi-layered web of life found in the ocean’s various ecosystems. Study how organisms interact with each other and their environment, how energy flows through communities, the links between different ocean ecosystems, and how you play a role in the ocean's changing ecology.

SCIENCE OF DIVING

This program provides an in-depth and detailed study of physics, physiology, decompression theory, the aquatic environment and diving equipment. It is required training for most SSI Dive Professional programs, as well as some Extended Range programs.
